Manchester has turned its mill buildings into offices for tech firms. A virtual assistant helps these firms stay lean.
Virtual Assistant gives Manchester businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $240 a month, working Eastern time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Manchester businesses hire a virtual assistant
Technology, healthcare and finance firms occupy the Millyard, and New Hampshire's tax climate attracts owners from Massachusetts. Many small firms like keeping overhead low, and that includes office staff.
The roles Manchester businesses should hire first
Administrative Assistant
Small firms can hand off email and scheduling.
Your day stops being reactive. Someone else sorts the inbox and the calendar first, so you start each morning with a short list of what actually needs you.
- Draft replies in your voice for you to approve or send
- Take meeting notes and send out the action items
- Fill in online forms and keep track of account renewals
- Research and book travel, with options to choose from
Administrative assistant packages start at $240 a month for 20 hours. Hire an administrative assistant for your Manchester business.
Bookkeeping Assistant
Tech and manufacturing firms can keep books current.
Money comes in faster. Invoices go out on time and late payers get regular, polite reminders.
- Match receipts to expenses
- Record payments as they arrive
- Prepare bills for your approval and payment
- Prepare a monthly balance sheet
Tax returns and tax advice stay with your CPA or enrolled agent. Bookkeeping assistant packages start at $320 a month for 20 hours. Hire a bookkeeping assistant for your Manchester business.
Website & Tech Assistant
Small companies can hand off websites and tool admin.
Your website stays healthy. Regular updates, backups and uptime checks lower the risk of a site going down when customers need it.
- Fix broken pages, links and forms
- Build landing pages
- Connect your CRM, email and spreadsheets
- Provide basic IT help desk support

Why hire your Manchester assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Eastern time business hours, so your day and theirs line up. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- They learn how you work: Your account manager turns your routine into a written checklist on the kickoff call, so you explain each job once.
- Old books can be fixed: Start with a one-time cleanup project, then use a monthly package to keep everything current.
- Bigger builds are quoted first: Order a full website as a one-time project, and we confirm the hours before starting.
- Free replacement: If your assistant is not the right fit, we match you with a different one at no extra cost.
- Clear prices, no lock-in: See your exact price before you order. Month-to-month packages can be cancelled any time, and unused hours roll over within your package limit.
- A US account manager: One person matches you, runs your kickoff call and stays your contact if anything needs fixing.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
How to get started this week

- Pay your itemized invoice by card or crypto
- Your US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days and runs your kickoff call
